Only thing missing is 802.11ac which is only useful now if you have very recent clients/.ac network kit. Excellent piece of kit, lots of features. Now within £5 of the Apple refurbished/clearance price......

Cheers, I've been reluctant to get one due to wanting AC which I don't strictly need at the moment but Wireless in my house is poor from the Superhub so getting the old one cheap is fine as I'll re-purpose it as an extender for upstairs when I do get the latest one. Cheers.

Awesome piece of kit, works with my virgin 152MB connection, downloading at well over 16mb/sec, rock solid not rebooted for months

That will probably be items supplied by one of the many third party sellers trying to clear old stock and hoping people will not notice.

I've had one of these for over a year and the wireless has been 100% reliable. That said have not been able to get a HDD share to work nor get my canon mp610 to share across the windows PC/laptops in the household.

These are brilliant devices, i bought my airport express for the same price a few years ago, came in handy when i got a new router which didn't reach my office.

You don't need AC, but dual band N is a must with so many devices on the 2.4 GHz frequency. My speedtest results in 39 Mbps with 2.4 but on 5 GHz I get 72 down. Makes a big difference.
